New Emergence (Popularity: )
Several questions emerge in mind and invade
It makes me little nervous before they fade
Sometimes it is said idle mind is devil's workshop
This all takes its shape when you prove to be super flop
It may matter less if you on last leg of your journey
Life is out lived and there is no lust for fame or money
You can afford to turn back to old memory and ...

What Swarms Eventually Scatters (Popularity: )
http://michaelangell.comWhat swarms eventually scatters.
What says 'What?' comes from having been
touched to the ground roughly smooth by
both Birth and the worthiness of that breathing
Void whose lungs are cargo planes for famine,
flaming torches held by cave painters and the
cold metal smell of having chiseled all day long
on a shadow who would not hold still.
Plunging his vision into a sliding door's
glass filled with yellow meat-bees.
Witnessing again
the stray cat that needs worm pills.
The picnic ...

From Inside an Open Grave - My Lily Did Escape (Popularity: )
http://www.kathysart.comLily opened her eyes from sleeping
lest death take her ore
and rob her of her own breath.
this grave
opened up toward hope.
Remembering all
in conflict
wound or victory
thus
Lily spoke:
"Let me be a snowflake
drift in the wind
connect with the atmosphere.
Solace
solace
floating till I reach another wound
past this one.
This one is too hard.
Healing.
Let me know that space
no one around
freedom to dance over oceans
feet never even touching
its liquid whispers
at all.
Yes
I want to fly that high.
I don't care what ...

Oh Kauai, Hawaii Forever Be - Keep it Green For Future Generations (Popularity: )
http://www.squidoo.comThis is my 'keep it green' proclamation, of sorts, for the Hawaiian Islands. The island of Kauai is being overbuilt, for such a tiny island. This poem notes what progress brings, and part of the destruction that can happen, because of our thoughtless march toward what we consider to be progress. Embrace these fragile resources, that have been left in our care. Let us remember to tread lightly, on the ...

Stillness Speaks, Unlocking the Power of Presence (Popularity: )
http://www.paulfdavis.comStillness speaks
Quiets my soul to keep
Frees me to not think
That's right, no thinking
Oops, are you thinking?
I know it's hard to stop
Since the mind is persisting
It seems to continuously
Be fighting and resisting
Precious sacred solitude
The power of presence
Captivating effervescence
Intoxicating aliveness
Invigorating in stillness
An irony that stumps us
In a society that says do
In a culture pressuring you
To always perform and act.
How pleasant it truly is
To withdraw from all that
Sit quietly and meditate
Go within and ...

Logic, reason, yeah, yeah, I have those
But I can believe what I want to believe.
What I want is what is true
It's true because ...
